I spent considerable time looking into how this could be done well. There are numerous factors that could all be fed into an algorithm to calculate the "pleasantness" for each segment of the pedestrian network. I had focused on factors such as the distance between the traffic and the sidewalk, the speed and quantity of the traffic, and the barriers between. (curbs, trees, parked cars, etc.). Also intersections, trees, street lights, surfaces, etc. This article mentions the use of noise which is something I had not considered.
